(Walt Disney Studios, 1959) Marvelous production cels and pan production background featuring Maleficent and her three Goons from Sleeping Beauty, showing the wicked sorceress descending the inner stone staircase of her castle, with a triplet of armed guards standing on the upper platform. The cels are placed on a hand-painted panoramic production background attributed to Eyvind Earle, which captures in great detail the impressive stonework and atmosphere of the spellcaster’s great and terrible fortress. Images measure 7.5 x 8 (Maleficent) and 12 x 6.75 (Goons), with a mat opening of 32.75 x 9.5. Framed with an engraved plaque to an overall size of 46.25 x 23. In fine condition, with wear and chips to frame. A highly visual display piece that evokes both the charm and danger of the classic Disney fairy tale, and is further augmented by a surreal backdrop and a stunning full-figure portrayal of the 'Mistress of All Evil.'
